Soy nuevo en el programa y tengo poco conocimiento respecto a como usar el programa. Sin embargo estoy tomando un curso por medio de Udemy el cual me esta ayudando a conocer las herramientas de FIGMA. en este momento tengo una duda respecto a las variables, pues al seleccionar un grupo de variables y querer duplicarlo no me permite realizar la acción y tengo que crear un nuevo grupo de manera manual, en lugar de duplicarlo. si doy doble click o utilizo los comando simplemente no sucede nada y no me arroja opciones. me gustaría saber como puedo solucionarlo o si es una herramienta que ya no esta disponible en el programa 

On the desktop app,  I can open my project. However only the AI chat column is there.  I can't get to the layers panel or anything else.  I've worked on this for 3 hours.  Unistalling and reinstalling. Dragging bars left and right.  Nothing works.  Help!

Organization  A would like to do creative development in the Figma instance for Org A.  When their development is approved, they would then like to move it to Org B’s instance.  Org B is the source of truth for the current production creative.  While Org A will develop in Org A’s Figma, there will also be people directly developing in Org B’s instance.  Org A is not open to using a logically partitioned space on Org B’s instance and must use their own instance.Org A will need a sync of all production creative changes from Org B, so they can ensure they have the current creative to start with.  Is there a way to sync updated files between organizations?Is there anyway to do code versioning and control across the two instances?

Hello,In the color picker and with the eyedropper tool disabled, when I hover the rows of previously used colors, I don’t get the tooltip with the hex value of the color I am about to select. Instead, I get the eyedropper! I remember only a few days ago there was a tooltip there and it was very useful before any selection - the eyedropper doesn’t help at all, it’s like forcing me to choose based on visuals only. I couldn’t find any setting that could possibly have affected this. Any ideas?Thanks

Hi, occasionally I want to give access to members of my membership or to customers. This is usually for simple things like voting on a Figjam board. Do I really have to pay 5 Dollars for each member I give access to a single board for a short moment?

Hi everyone I’m currently designing a word-puzzle interface inspired by the NYT Letter Boxed game, and I’m exploring the best way to structure it in Figma. What I’m working on:The UI includes: A square/boxed layout with letters placed around the edges Interactive letter states (default, selected, used) A central word-building area Responsive behavior for different screen sizes (desktop & mobile)  Where I’m stuck:I’m unsure about the cleanest Figma workflow to manage: Reusable letter components Auto Layout without breaking the boxed structure Consistent spacing while keeping the “Letter Boxed” feel intact Sometimes Auto Layout works well, but other times it messes with the symmetry of the letter boxes. What I’ve tried so far: Components + Variants for letter states Auto Layout with fixed width/height Constraints for responsiveness Looking for help with: Best practices for designing puzzle-based UIs in Figma Whether this kind of layout should rely more on manual posit

Hi! When copying an element between frames, the pasted item does not maintain its original position and shows minor coordinate discrepancies.Someone know how to fix this problem?

Hi i am totally new to website design and Figma.Want to create a logo for my website using Figma, where do I start and is their any resources like training videos available on logo design 

Hi, is there a way to change exposure levels for GIFs and video inside Figma? I know I can with still images but I can’t seem to find a way to make adjustments to GIFs/video. Are there any workarounds? And is it possible in development mode?Thanks!

Hi everyone,I’m working on designing a word-puzzle interface that’s loosely inspired by the Letter Boxed style where players connect letters around a shape to form valid words. I’m in the early design phase and would love to get your thoughts on best practices when approaching something like this in Figma.A few specific things I am thinking about: How to layout the letter groups or nodes so they feel balanced and easy to interact withTips for designing smooth interaction prototypes (e.g., drag-to-connect letters)How to visually show feedback (valid/invalid word, selection paths, etc.)Any recommended component structure or auto layout setup that makes iterating easier I’ve been using auto layout for the basic grid, but I’m not sure if there’s a better way to structure the puzzle components so they’re reusable and flexible as the design evolves.If you’ve designed interactive puzzle screens before — especially anything with touch gestures and dynamic states — I’d love to hear how you stru

How to update all elements’ text layers to the new font rendering type?

This issue has been happening on and off today which is preventing me from moving forward. Is anyone else seeing this? It’s also happening to the published version. 

We are using the licensed Font Awesome in our team. Recently I started to use Figma Make but it turns all the FA icons into regular text. I have flatten the icons to shape layer before adding to Figma Make; but it’s not very sustainable for the long run. Has anyone managed to connect FA or any other font in the FM guidelines?

I'm creating a Text Input and I have an icon that can change to a badge, for example. However, when I swap the icon for the badge, it inherits the border radius from the Text Input's property and doesn't keep the badge's.Example: The Instance Swap has 0px, and the badge has a 4px border radius. When I do the instance swap, the badge appears with a 0px border radius and not the 4px defined for the badge. And this happens with any other component I swap.Is there a way to make the Instance Swap retain the characteristics of the component chosen in the swap?

Our web vs. our Figma componentHi everyone,I’m looking for a better way to maintain consistent widths for component instances across responsive breakpoints (Tablet/Mobile).Currently, everything works perfectly on Desktop where instance widths are fixed. However, the layout breaks when using min-width and max-width for smaller screens. I’ve experimented with Layout Grids, but they leave awkward empty spaces below when an instance's visibility is toggled off.I’ve considered making every single row toggleable, but that feels like a bloated, confusing experience for the designers using the library.Does anyone have a solid workflow or a "holy grail" file for handling these responsive group cases? I’d love to see how you’re structuring your layers!

For the past few months I’ve been able to see my images on my file but for the past few days all the previews have disappeared & I’ve tried to update Figma, update my computer, clear my Figma cache and nothing has worked. The images are still within the Figma but I just can’t view them

The figma team pleace check my web, i dont have publish. Update attempt was unsuccessful.  my web： 

Hi, everyone! I got a new phone, installed the Figma mobile app on it, and logged in, but every time I try to use the Mirror function, I get this error, saying Update or switch browsers. I tried everything, updated the browsers, switched between Opera and Chrome, logged in and out and nothing seemed to work. (My phone is Xiaomi Mi9 lite, with Android 10) Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue?

I often use the Tab key to navigate back and forth between various text objects on the screen.But now the behavior seems kind of random. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it just tells me “no text suggestions found”, and other times it indents the text. I have toggled off “show text suggestions” in the hopes of removing the “no text suggestions” behavior, but it still happens.Has any one figured out the logic behind the Tab key??

Hi team, we have been prototyping some fairly complex web app concepts, and just wanted to understand what happens as we get into really high version numbers (e.g. up version 95 in the one I am looking at right now) – would like some understanding/reassurance of the limits before we really start orienting our prototyping process around Figma Make.Is there a limit on how many prompts a single file can have? Are there any risks in having a file with very high numbers of versions? I saw another post saying their file stopped being able to iterate at version 900 because of how large the prompt was getting (with all the history). Is there a way to “fork” a new file, and this file effectively restarts at version 0 – I was surprised that duplicating retains all the previous versions.Slightly worried about the usage limits of roughly 80 prompts per month – I could do this in a morning! Are we doing something wrong? I have been very happy with the results (and breaking complex app flows into ve

I created my Figma account yesterday and recently verified it as a student account. However, I’m currently unable to access Dev Mode, which I was hoping to use to better understand the design-to-code workflow. I also tried creating a team first and then upgrading it, but the option was not free as expected.Given this situation, I would like to ask whether schools are supposed to have an education plan that includes full access to Figma features such as Dev Mode for students. I want to make sure I’m not missing a required step or institutional setup to properly access these tools.
